Crochet Plumeria Flower & Hair Clip

Materials Needed:

Any kind of yarn
Suitable hook size (2.5 mm crochet hook is used in the video)
Alligator clip
Felt material (optional for backing)

Starting the Flower:

Begin with a magic circle. Wrap the yarn around your finger, creating an X shape. Insert your hook from the first loop, pull the second loop under the first, and secure it with a chain one.
Work a chain three (which along with the chain one counts as a double crochet and a chain one space).
Make one double crochet into the magic circle.
Chain one, then double crochet into the magic circle.

Repeat until you have five double crochets (including the starting chain three).
Pull the tail to close the magic circle tight.
End the round with a chain one and join with a slip stitch into the third chain from the beginning chain four.

Working the First Round of Petals:

Start with a front post slip stitch in the first chain three space.
Chain three and work three double crochets as a front post around the double crochet space of the previous round.
Chain three and slip stitch into the same space to create the first petal.
Repeat this process for the remaining double crochets to create four more petals.

Creating the Second Round of Petals:

Attach a new color yarn (if you wish to use two colors) with a slip knot and connect it to any chain one space from the previous round.
Chain three, then work a single crochet between the chain three and the first double crochet of the previous petal.
Work three double crochets on the top of the first double crochet from the previous petal.
Repeat this in the next two chain spaces, making three double crochets in each.

Work a single crochet between the last double crochet and chain three space of the petal.
Make a loose slip stitch into the magic circle space to anchor the petal to the center.
Repeat this process to create the rest of the petals of the second round, anchoring each with a loose slip stitch in the magic circle space.

Finishing the Flower:

After completing all the petals, work a final slip stitch into the magic circle space.
Chain one and fasten off your work, cutting the yarn and weaving in the ends behind the petals.

Adding the Hair Clip:

Cut a small circle from the felt material that can fit behind one of the flower petals.
Cut two slits in the felt where the alligator clip will be attached.
Insert the top part of the alligator clip into the slits.
